Morality bites me in the nuts.

Well, how fun for me. Some kid, claiming to be abused, a friend of my friends shows up at my apartment door looking for a place to stay. With a claim that this kid was kicked out, I called this kid's old man and found out the kid runs away quite a bit, but when I asked if he was going to pick her up, this guy was hesitant and ultimately suggested I let this 17 year old kid stay at my apartment. Likewise, a police officer had approached me a few weeks earlier about this runaway kid (cops looking for my friend.) And how fun it is, for I am this close to doing time for harboring a minor; but I can't just leave this kid out in the freezing cold with no where to go.

I cant imagine. But if its any consolation, I know what its like to do something seemingly aweful to somebody for they're own good. The kid might not understand now, but (depending on other circumstances, which I dont know all of) I imagine you may have helped her/him a lot more than you know.
